The Forum Threads: UFC 172

Jon
Jones' impressive reign atop the light heavyweight division
continued at UFC 172, as he dominated Glover
Teixeira for five rounds at the Baltimore Arena on Saturday
night. The Jackson-Wink MMA product relied on a versatile standup
attack and brutal clinch work to capture a unanimous decision and
end Teixeira’s 20-fight unbeaten streak.

The victory likely sets up a highly anticipated rematch between
Jones and Alexander
Gustafsson later in 2014. While Gustafsson has already proven
himself to be the most difficult challenge of Jones’ career,
another 205-pound contender emerged in Saturday’s co-main event
when Anthony
Johnson bullied former NCAA All-American wrestler Phil Davis
for three rounds. A welterweight for the majority of his first UFC
run, “Rumble” appears to have found a happy home at light
heavyweight.
